FREC 3 Guaranteed Dates

Flexible FREC 3 Training Available Now

Lockdown 2 has arrived, but we are still delivering courses and continuing to support learners. If you have time available, this is the perfect opportunity to begin your First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3) qualification using our flexible modular format.

Study in a Way That Fits Your Routine

We now run FREC 3 through blended learning. Qualsafe, the awarding body, approves this approach and allows us to deliver theory modules virtually. You will join live, tutor-led sessions from your own device at home. Once you complete all the theory modules, you will attend two practical days on-site at our Peak District training centre. These in-person sessions will be scheduled when it is safe to attend.

You have up to 20 weeks to complete the full qualification, giving you the flexibility to plan your learning around work and other commitments.

Choose Your Own Schedule

The course is divided into ten live modules, each lasting two hours. These bite-sized sessions cover the full FREC 3 theory in a manageable way.

You can:

  • Book and pay for all ten modules in advance
  • Or pay as you go, choosing modules based on your availability

Once you have completed and paid for all ten modules, we will include your two practical on-site training days at no extra cost.

Learn with Support at Every Stage

When you book, we provide access to our online learning portal, which helps you prepare before each session. After every module, you can log back in to review the content and reinforce your understanding.

To support different learning styles, we also include:

  • Flashcards
  • Interactive games
  • Short videos

Whether you prefer written content, visual explanations, or hands-on activities, you will find a learning method that works for you. While we were initially cautious about blended learning, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Learners enjoy the flexible format and the focused pace of shorter sessions.

Available Seven Days a Week

We offer FREC 3 modules every day from 08:00 to 21:00. If you work shifts or live overseas, we are happy to arrange alternative times that suit your schedule. Just ask.

We are a 24/7 global business

High Peak First Aid has always been an adaptable business, more so now than ever. We are offering blended learning on courses to allow you to continue with first aid and prehospital care training. The theory aspect of each course will be held via your PC and will be Tutor lead. It is the same as sitting in a class but you get to stay in the comfort of your own home, no worries about coronavirus, no mask and a cup of tea to hand.

Remote learning via a PC is not about looking at a Tutor talking to you. Learning via a PC is interacting with other participants who you can see as well as the Tutor. You will have the opportunity to enter our immersive classroom via your PC and decide the outcome of the patient during the lesson. You can even talk to the patient and they will reply in real time. Our immersive classroom has hundreds of interactive scenes plus the additional scenes we have added from our 360 camera/video recorder.

After the module you will be invited to our online learning resource to reinforce your knowledge before the next module. Our learning resource has explainer videos, text, case studies, flip cards and games. The learning is segregated into what you need to know and learn plus extra learning options if you want to explore topics in more detail.

The final part of your training is to attend our venue in the Peak District for the practical element. As you have already covered the theory and reinforced your understanding you will benefit more when it comes to the practical elements.

Another major plus point is that we have divided the theory into small chunks to be taken at a time to suit, so you can learn early morning, day time, evening and weekends. If you need help, we give you a Tutors number so you can use WhatsApp. We are open from 0600hrs-2100hrs seven days a week for those on GMT and by arrangement at other times for clients in different time zones. All you need is a PC and internet connection. We will also help you set this up if you are not sure how to get started.

We understand that some people want face to face training. This will still be available when restrictions are lifted. However, to continue the best we all can in this ever changing situation, the model above is the best option. As a Company Director I was sceptical about remote learning but am now a convert when I see the standard our learners can achieve. On a training course you have limited time to learn, plus we have COVID compliance to deal with. We all learn at a different rate, so remote learning via a PC, reinforced in a variety of ways between modules and before the practical element puts you in a far better position for learning, retaining and implementing your new skills and knowledge. If you are not sure, give it a try and you might just become a convert.

Open for training

New opportunities for learning. Due to local and possible national impending restrictions, we are offering blended learning on our courses for those who cannot or do not want to travel. This is being activated over the next 7 days to coincide with our new website.

The first qualification with this option is First Response Emergency Care (FREC 3). We are approved by Qualsafe to hold theory modules via your PC, combined with two days practical training at our three classrooms in the Peak District.

This interactive and tutor lead experience means you can interact via PC from the comfort of your own home, paying for FREC 3 modules as you go and at a time to suit as we have day, weekend and evening slots available. You can see details of how this works for the FREC 3 here

Further details will be released over the next few days for other first aid and prehospital care qualifications.

Outdoor First Aid 16hrs

High Peak Outdoor First Aid Courses are scheduled to take place 8-10 times a month in the picturesque Peak District. This regular schedule ensures that you have plenty of opportunities to join us. Our immersive classroom and diverse wilderness terrain provide the perfect setting for outdoor lessons.

Our courses offer extensive practical training, particularly in the use of haemostats and tourniquets. Skill stations are set up outdoors, on the lawn or in the woods, to simulate real-life scenarios. We are committed to managing the COVID-19 situation effectively, providing face masks for indoor activities or when working within a metre of others outside, ensuring access to hot soap and water for hand washing.
